Negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries and battery thereof

A negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, comprising:

• a negative electrode active material;
• a conductive aid;
• and
• a binder, wherein
• the negative electrode active material has an average operating potential of 0.5 V vs. Li/Li+ or more and less than 2.0 V vs. Li/Li+ during desorption and insertion of lithium ions,
• the conductive aid contains 0.05 percent by weight or more and 2 percent by weight or less of carbon nanotubes having a diameter of 100 nm or less with respect to the total weight of the negative electrode active material, the conductive aid, and the binder, and
• the binder contains 2 percent by weight or more and 8 percent by weight or less of macromolecules having acidic functional groups with respect to the total weight of the negative electrode active material, the conductive aid, and the binder.
